I’ve seen it mark Evanier’s blog, which is when it’s official in my book. As I’m sure a lot of people do, I have mixed feelings about Stan leave a man and his legacy. But he undoubtedly made a lasting impact on the industry and genre we all love. As rough as his last few years appeared to be, i’m glad he got free of his abusive agent and was able to spend his last months surrounded by friends and family.

My thoughts are with his family, friends and countless fans.
As a DC reader, I rolled my eyes a bit at the hyperbole filled editorials and the "Stan Lee presents" openings. But the books I was reading had the benefit of building on the foundations of character creation, plotting and characterisation that Stan and his co creators had already spent many years publishing. His promotion for Marvel was relentless and I look back at those editorials and see the inclusiveness and fun in them. And I see the debt that so many other books and companies owe to the style he was key in forging.

On "controversies" around Stan, let's just say that if you look at Kirby's work without him, or Ditko's work without him, you can't pretend that he played no part in the success of their co-creations.
Excelsior Stan, and RIP.

Yeah, I think Stan deserves a lot of credit for what many of us have taken out of Marvel comics. X-Men comics, and many others, showed me a world where it didn't matter what you looked like or where you were from. You could still be a hero.
Stan didn't get in the way of that or shut it down, as many other people have and would have. I think that was brave.
